Liu Sizhe came back in time, so that everyone caught the plane at five o'clock, so before seven o'clock in the evening, everyone set foot on the land of Lingnan.

This time, with the four of them going to Yangmei, there is also an old man in his fifties, this person's name is An Yongqing, who is the gambling stone master that Yihongguo dug from someone else's company, I heard that this person's highest gambling stone record is to pick ten pieces of wool, up six, and one of them is still glass.

Such a record, put in the gambling stone circle, is indeed called the master of gambling stones.

The reason why Yi Hongguo took An Yongqing with him was also to let him witness Chu Chen's gambling with his own eyes first, not to reach the critical moment, the two had a conflict because of their different opinions.

An Yongqing didn't look down on Chu Chen because of his youth, after all, Yihongguo's business was so big, it was impossible to joke about it, but he still didn't believe Chu Chen's record.

This is because An Yongqing learned from Yi Hongguo's account that Chu Chen's level has already caught up with the old man known as the Jade King in Myanmar, and Chu Chen's is only in his early twenties, which really makes him a little hard to believe.

Although he knew that the apprentice of the Jade King also had such a record, in his opinion, Chu Chen was definitely not as good as the apprentice of the Jade King.

Yi Hongguo saw the disbelief in An Yongqing's eyes, and didn't say anything, there are some things, hearing is false, seeing is believing, as long as he sees it with his own eyes, he knows how powerful Chu Chen is.

Yi Hongguo called his friend before getting on the plane, so as soon as everyone left the aisle, they saw the pick-up staff holding a big sign. So everyone got in the car he drove and began to set off for the destination of the trip.

Yangmei is a jade professional village integrating jade production, processing and trade. It is known as the "land of gold and jade", but it is a village that does not produce jade. It is home to the largest jade wholesale market in Lingnan. It can also be said to be the largest jade wholesale market in the country.

Moreover, since 2000, the jade produced and sold by Yangmei has surpassed Xiangjiang in terms of quantity and quality, and has become the largest high-end jade distribution center in Shijie.

Yangmei has a long history of making and selling jade, and since 1905, the villagers have been engaged in jade processing, production and trade, which has a history of nearly 100 years.

So far, there are more than 500 households in the village. There are more than 400 large and small jade processing and trade, which is equivalent to accounting for eighty percent of the total number of households in the village, and more than 1,500 people are professionally engaged in jade processing and trade. In other words, almost all the villagers are engaged in jadeite-related business.

Among them, there are those who focus on the trade of jadeite products, those who focus on jadeite processing, and many people who focus on the business of jadeite rough stones.

Therefore. There is never a shortage here, and there are fascinating and embarrassing legends such as getting rich overnight, or slashing millions of dollars in vain.

It is known as the yang beauty of the jade capital. It is undoubtedly a good place for jade collectors, and a cornucopia for jade merchants. As a large-scale professional high-grade jade trading market. It not only has exquisite carvings and priceless jadeite jade, but also has a unique business operation model.

Listen to Yi Hongguo's introduction. Yangmei people have their own set of risk-averse practices for the processing of jade.

According to the consistent practice in the village, the villagers operate under the shareholding system on the basis of voluntary associations. Share the risk and share the profit.

When the jadeite wool is transported to the village, it is first evaluated and analyzed by experienced appraisers, and then the price is negotiated, and the villagers who want to participate in it voluntarily form a joint venture partner. After the wool is unraveled, it is then made into finished jade products and sold in the market. As a result, there are more and more jade processing factories and carving factories, and their development is becoming more and more mature.

When Chu Chen heard about this unique business operation model, he couldn't help but sigh, with such a business experience, it was reasonable for Yangmei to become the current jade capital.

When Chu Chen and the others got out of the car, Yangmei gave them the most intuitive impression that this place did not look like a village, but as if they had come to a prosperous city, and there was actually a star-rated hotel in a village, which made Chu Chen really unimaginable.

After getting off the bus, everyone put the salute in the haode room prepared for them in advance, and after settling down, everyone followed Yihongguo to the haode hotel in advance on the phone.

After arriving there, Yi Hongguo introduced the two sides, his friend was named Qiang Zhaojun, and he was also an old friend, and from the appearance of Qiang Zhaojun, he was bigger than Yi Hongguo. According to what Yi Hongguo said before, Qiang Zhaojun's gambling experience has been no less than fifteen years.

Everyone greeted each other politely for a while, and when the waiter served the food, Qiang Zhaojun enthusiastically and appropriately persuaded the wine.

Of course, Hu Yong scrupulously adhered to the duties of a bodyguard, did not drink a drop of alcohol, and Qiang Zhaojun persuaded him for a long time, but he was unsuccessful, and later heard that this person was Chu Chen's bodyguard, so he gave up. However, because of this, Qiang Zhaojun also knew Chu Chen's identity, and it was estimated that it was not so simple.

During the banquet, everyone did not talk about the topic of gambling stones, in the words of Qiang Zhaojun, eating is a time to rest physically and mentally, and it is best not to talk about business. However, Qiang Zhaojun is very talkative and humorous, and Yihongguo is talking about it, and there is a lot of laughter and laughter for a while, and after eating a meal, everyone's distance is also much closer.

After the meal, Yi Hongguo asked with a smile: "Lao Qiang, what did you think about what you told you before?" ”

"You guy, like I owe you." Qiang Zhaojun smiled when he heard this: "I have no problem with this, but I have to agree with the jade carving master himself." ”

Yi Hongguo smiled when he heard this: "Lao Qiang, you are a little slippery!" We don't know the jade carving master in your factory, who knows which jishu is better, since you agreed, a good person will do it to the end, and arrange all the things for me, no. This is the first thing my junior brother begged me to do, if it is messed up, where will you put my face? ”

Qiang Zhaojun shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, even if I'm afraid of you, I'll arrange it for you." ”

Chu Chen also reacted quickly, and as soon as the words fell, he picked up the teacup and said, "Brother Qiang, thank you so much, junior brother will first toast you with tea instead of wine." ”

To be honest, a jade carving master with good jishu and development potential is also very important for a jade processing factory, so let it be given to Chu Chen, and it must be false to say that he is not distressed.

But who let a friend who has been friends for many years ask for him, this thing has to give his friends some face. Therefore, Qiang Zhaojun naturally accepted Chu Chen's gratitude.

"There's nothing to thank you for this, it's a matter of urgency between friends! Brother Chu, I heard Lao Yi say before, you are very good at gambling stones? ”

Chu Chen said modestly: "Hehe, I can't talk about it, it's just that I have a little experience in gambling stones, and I'm lucky." ”

Qiang Zhaojun said with a smile: "Look, isn't it modest, as the saying goes, three points of experience and seven points of luck in gambling stones, luck is in our business, of course, it is also counted as part of the strength." So, I don't know if there's something I can ask you to help me with. ”

"Brother Qiang, please say, as long as I can help, it is definitely my duty!" Chu Chen said solemnly.

Qiang Zhaojun said: "This matter, it's not difficult to say, it's not easy to say, it's related to a stone gambling event tomorrow night." ”

"Lao Qiang, you don't mean that tomorrow there will be a "knife of gold", right? Yi Hongguo interjected.

"Yes." Qiang Zhaojun nodded.

"A thousand dollars? What does that mean? "Everyone else in the room was very curious.

Yi Hongguo explained with a smile: "This event is held once a year, and the rules are very simple, that is, the value of the jadeite is higher than the value of the wool selected by whom, who can win, and the winner can get the jadeite from all the contestants, so this activity is called a thousand gold." ”

"Oh? Did you choose the wool and bring it yourself, or did the organizer provide it? Liu Sizhe asked a key question.

"There are both their own and those provided by the organizers." Yi Hongguo replied.

"What do you mean? Wouldn't that be a little unfair? Chu Chen said with a frown.

"Huh!" Qiang Zhaojun explained with a smile: "Of course, this will not be unfair, because there are two rounds of the competition, the first round, the comparison is the wool they brought, and then the stone is solved on the spot to determine the top six winners for the second round, this round, the contestants choose a piece from the wool provided by the organizer, and then solve the stone on the spot, and finally decide the winner." ”

"In that case, whose jadeite is the first round of the competition?"

"Not a single one, these are for the ultimate winner."

Liu Sizhe was surprised when he heard this: "In this way, won't the final winner be able to earn at least more than 10 million?" ”

"Of course." Qiang Zhaojun said: "I remember at most a competition the year before last, and the champion ended up earning a full 270 million wool! ”

"Two hundred and seventy million!"

This number really scared everyone, even if Qiang Zhaojun said it was an understatement, they could completely imagine how thrilling and exciting the scene was. It's no wonder that there are two games, and if there is only one, it would be somewhat unfair.

After half a ring, Chu Chen then asked, "Brother Qiang, there should be other rules for this competition, right?" For example, the wool of the first round of the competition will be somewhat limited, right? ”

Qiang Zhaojun said: "Of course, there are regulations here, the weight of wool in the first competition cannot be higher than ten kilograms, and it must be a full bet on wool, and the age of the contestants must not be higher than thirty years old, which is why I want to ask you for help." ”

Chu Chen nodded clearly, it is estimated that this is also one of the reasons why the game is set up twice. (To be continued......)
